nice add-on to pioneer avh-p4000dvd. recevies both HD and non-HD FM signals. the $50 mail-in rebate from HD Radio even made this accessory a real deal. thanks pioneer!

i bought this for my AVIC-D3 with the intention to upgrade to the new F90, once i got around to it. It comes with everything required, 2 power connectors and the i-bus cable. as i already had the sirius module(xm one on its way!) i just tapped into the power cables from the sirus module and chained in the ibus. it took in total about 10 minutes. 2 words of warning, 1) if you want to still use the standard FM and AM tuners of the head unit, you will require an antenna splitter. 2)if you have the module displayed on the head unit, but no sound, you have put the i-bus cables in the wrong way round!

Finally, i have upgraded to the AVIC-F90BT and this gives a much better user interface to the HD radio. With the AVIC-D3, you only get the EXT1 interface but with the F90 you get the same interface as standard FM, just a small observation, but i liked it a lot more. Fuctionality wise, there is no difference between the D3 or the F90BT

I bought this to use with my Pioneer AVIC-D3 navigation. It works as advertised, as an external device so it is not perfect, but is easily usable from the AVIC touchscreen. The presets are stored by number only for reference but you cannot store a HD2 station. If you do it tunes to the HD1 station and you have to tune up manually to HD2. The HD station quality is noticeably better than standard FM and when you tune it first plays FM then switches to HD in a few seconds. The digital text broadcast is only 8 characters but is usable. If you listen to a lot of FM radio and want to get extra HD stations then you'll need a HD tuner. This is a good solution for adding that to your existing radio. I'd like to see it at a lower price however.

I bought this unit to work with my DEH-P7000BT. And work it does! Do not use the antenna extender cable, it will "kill" your sensitivity, just plug the antenna lead into the adapter. I velcroed the box right behind the Head Unit on the firewall. Installation was a 5 minute deal. I live in the Chicago area so it really helps give me a lot of variety in "free" programming. The HD sounds fabulous and the digital AM stations sound good too.

disclaimer: I was only looking for a tuner that would do a decent job pulling in the HD signal on a single station, and I don't use the interface much. Also, I paid 90 bucks and got 50 back from the MIR. The user interface depends entirely on the HU you use with this device.

I found it a bit frustrating that although my HU (880prs) was listed as compatible, it doesn't work like any of the others, and it doesn't work like the docs say it does for that category of HU. When I called pioneer for support, they didn't have much to offer, but did help a bit. Presets don't work the way the docs say they do, and I had to figure that out myself. The function menu headings don't have any descriptions and titles are 'function1, function2', etc. For having such a 'universal' interface, I would expect better integration with their own product line.

It was a snap to install, and once I got the initial setup headache over with, I was able to pull in all three streams on my favorite station and I've been very happy with the reception. I think I've heard it switch to analog once... I switch between CD and HD tuner frequently, and the delay from the switch to HD and when the audio comes through is a little annoying as it takes a couple seconds.
